Think about the amount of man hours people have spent deleting these files from repositories, USB drives, archives... They spread like a virus.

When I set up new fileshares at work I used Filescreen templates to stop those being created on network shares (Example [1]).

Gnome creates it's own too, and I wish it would stop - the only solution seems to be to recompile libgio with the trash method redirected to delete[2].
